[Elecraft] [K3] K3 VS 7600 Sherwood List

Yes, a Chinese TS830 because the Japanese had their chance at it. ;-)

Also enjoy cranking from bottom CW band to band top with manual VFO, fixed selectivity, etc. Oh yes, somebody makes lots of money competing with old units on eBay. 

I tell anyone that will listen, the flexibility of a DSP radio means little without the rich full natural sound of a good analog radio. Elecraft has done this (IMO). They have made the hobby technically better without the artifactual warts. 

I have thought about how the K3 will fare better in 30 years, since the design is modular and so many of the components are in large scale integrated circuits. The old Kenwood PC boards are disintegrating from old age. I'd like think the K3 will far surpass TS930, 940, etc. in the old age game - probably outlasting me. ;-)

Now, if manufacturers would put their analyzers aside, and just sit down and
LISTEN to those grand old rigs.... And make dsp models with the same
characteristics and sound.

What a wonderful world it would be ;-)

I wouldn't mind a TS-830 replica with all dsp inside.
